Alright guys it’s that time in which I start to get annoying by reminding you daily to get your applications in for the Medalta International Cup Show. So lets make it easy on everyone involved by having you all each just send in your applications, because it’ll get embarrassing for all concerned if I have to start calling each and everyone of you individually to remind you! : )

Show us your mugs (or cups, yunomis, steins, etc) and be a part of Medalta’s first annual International Cup Show!

This show – August 23 to September 28- is being juried by Musing About Mud blogger and Canadian ceramic rockstar, Carole Epp.

The submission deadline is Thursday, May 30 so if
you’re interested, have a look at the eligibility requirements,
important dates and other information on this page and fill out the
handy-dandy form below (along with payment). Thanks for your interest
and good luck!

JUROR

Carole Epp is likely best known for her work on Musing About Mud, (www.musingaboutmud.blogspot.com)
an online resource of ceramic related content. She is a graduate of the
Australian National University, produces two distinct lines of
functional and sculptural ceramics, exhibits internationally, and at the
end of the day is a mother to two charming young boys.

ELIGIBILITY

The exhibition is open to all international artists. Work can be
either functional or sculptural so long as it addresses the idea of “the
cup”. Please submit only original work that has been completed in the
last two years. All work must use at least 50% fired clay as the primary
medium.

Work must not exceed 2 feet in width.

All work must be properly prepared for exhibition, be durable enough
to survive shipping and display, and come with exhibition/assemblage
instructions if applicable. Medalta reserves the right to reject any
work that is not suitably prepared for exhibition or that differs from
the original submission.

Medalta reserves the right to use images and photographs of accepted
works for the purposes of promotional materials, including postcards,

All entries must be for sale, (priced in Canadian Dollars).
